I love Thanksgiving food. As in, I start eating mini-Thanksgiving meals starting in early November. I load up on mashed potatoes, roast turkey, green beans and dressing at the Whole Foods bar. At Boston Market. At diners. Etc. Basically, anywhere I can get a Thanksgiving inspired meal, I eat one.

By the time Thanksgiving day rolls around, I'm just about ready to move on. I marked a few recipes that I can incorporate leftovers into with a fresh twist that doesn't resemble a traditional holiday plate at all. If you're not into straight up leftovers like me, you might enjoy these options as well! And if you're thinking about maintaining healthy eating through the holidays, there are a few fresh salad options too :)

About Me

I’m a Defense Consultant with a tendency towards pulling office pranks, taking lunch breaks, and drinking Wawa shakes. I’m also an English major with a serious obsession with alliteration and rhymes. While I’m not keeping America safe, I’m priming, sanding and painting. Or increasing our fresh veg intake. Or pontificating on my newly minted status as a wife. All the while, I’m getting myself into Lucille Ball-esque scrapes and making Jim Carey-esque faces. Post-wedding, I’m bringing blogging home to explore renovations, recipes, and reflections.
